He caught errors in the deed before closing and required the sellers to reissue it before we'd proceed. That's exactly what you want from a closing attorney: Straightforward, competent, responsive, and no surprises. I would absolutely use him again.

All sorts of problems arose due to construction delays, permitting issues and my bank not wanting to further extend my mortgage rate lock. Dave did a truly amazing job handling all of these issues and got the job done. He is smart, persistent, and very easy to work with.

Jeff handled the closing for the purchase of my new house and the sale of my existing house…read more During the purchase closing, he discovered a major financing error by my lender that resulted in a significant savings for me. And when a title issue showed up during the sale of my existing home, Jeff went the extra mile to uncover the title insurance policy from when I purchased the property almost 20 years ago. This allowed the sale to proceed with no additional cost to me. It's rare that someone makes you feel like they're dropping everything they're doing just for you, but that's exactly what Jeff did. I cannot recommend him enough.

I found Jeff via yelp for our Newton home sale in the spring of 2018…read more Our situation was somewhat complicated, and Jeff never wavered in his patient and thorough approach. Even when things got stressful, or other parties in the transaction threw unexpected demands his way, Jeff was always very professional, turned work around very promptly, gave us candid and good advice, calmed us down when appropriate, and made himself available for what we needed. We wholeheartedly recommend Jeff - he made our somewhat (ahem) "adventurous" home sale as smooth as possible. We wish we did more frequent real estate transactions so that we could work with Jeff more often!

Warning -- I've just saved you thousands of wasted dollars…read more Carlo was hired by a property management company that manages the building where I own a condo unit. The owner of the property mgmt company refers to himself as Jesus Christ (evidenced inthe screenshots) which just goes to show you the type of company that this law firm keeps. He was hired by this mgmt company to threaten me to take down a Google Review I left for them after catching them red-handed in insurance fraud... seriously, no joke. And they likely spent thousands of dollars with this guy too. Carlo's brilliant strategy was to contact me personally via email writing in all caps trying verbally threaten / harass me thinking that would scare me. Which completely backfired on him... now he gets his own review. Funny how as soon as I had a lawyer lined up to counter, his tone immediately changed in his emails (see screenshots attached). Honestly, if you're going head to head with Carlo, you'd probably only really need ChatGPT to win out against this guy and his entire law firm in the court of law. What an absolute embarrassment. Avoid. You'll thank me later.
